Chapter 581: Coquettish
While playing the Bucks, Trevor Ariza sprained his ankle and needed to rest for two to three weeks.
He's the fourth player the Warriors have been injured this season, but fortunately, there are already more personnel, which basically doesn't affect the overall situation, and experienced players like Matt Barnes will get more opportunities.
Before the start of the game, Yang Di hugged Duncan, Ginobili and Parker in turn.
Yang Di fastened his shoelaces, raised his strong arms high, and high-fived his teammates.
Tyson Chandler stepped into the center circle and both starters stayed on the court.
Spurs starters: Parker, Michael Finley, Bruce Bowen, Tim Duncan, Oberto.
Duncan, although a power forward, came to the center circle and Chandler jumped the ball, and Ginobili was put on the bench by Popovich.
In the past two years, how to use Ginobili has become a new topic for Popovich's research.
This demon knife, with a sharp sheath, definitely has the strength of a starter, even the strength of an All-Star, but on the bench, he plays a very high role. And Finley is also entangled in whether to start or substitute, Ginobili and Michael Finley, which makes Popovich very entangled.
At the moment, it seems that Popovich is more inclined to use Ginobili as a substitute in the new season.
Yang Di glanced at the Spurs bench, he knew that Ginobili had an S- rating, and Michael Finley had an A+ rating, and the Spurs were indeed a large number of soldiers and strong.
"Toot ~"
With a whistle, the basketball was thrown straight into the sky.
Chandler and Duncan jumped up in no particular order, and Duncan pressed Chandler with his long arms and touched the basketball first.
The rebound flew backwards to him, and like a setter, Oberto handed it to Tony Parker.
The Frenchman raised his arms high and dribbled forward.
This year, Parker is 24 years old and entered the league at the age of 19, which is Parker's sixth season, and similarly, 22-year-old Yang Di is ushering in his fourth season. These players who entered the league at the age of 18 or 19 usually have a long career, and many of those who entered the league at the age of 22 have not yet experienced their rookie season, and they will face old birds who have been tempered for a long time.
Parker and Yang Di are old birds, and the two have a lot of experience.
Parker has grown quickly and is now the engine of the Spurs, being named an All-Star for the first time in his career last season.
Averaged 19 points, 5.5 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting more than 50 percent from the field.
Parker drives forward with the ball.
In the frontcourt, Duncan is low and the card owner Chandler asks for the ball.
Yang Di takes on more offensive tasks, so usually, Montgomery prefers to have Yang Di as a court assistant.
Duncan held the ball in both hands, held it high, and the outside players pulled away, and the first wave of the Spurs' offense was actually ready to let Duncan play in the low post.
"Bang!"
Chandler, who was growing in strength, held Duncan in the air, but was still a little unsteady by his monstrous power.
Tim Duncan crushed Chandler and turned around, holding the ball in his right hand, without feints, and directly hooked his hand to shoot, and his hand did not move at all.
Chandler interferes with his arms raised.
With a little more force, the basketball smashed into the neck of the basket and bounced to the other side.
Yang Di, who was in the main position, jumped up, crossed the frame with both hands, and grabbed the rebound that fell, and Oberto was behind him, and there was nothing he could do.
But Oberto has rich experience in defense, and the moment Yang Di landed and turned around, Oberto did not rush to retreat, but took a step forward, wanting to delay Yang Di's dribble.
The corners of Yang Di's mouth curled, thinking too simply!
His eyes are like torches, his mind is extremely clear, and after passing training, the whole person's reading of the game has a new experience and height.
With his right foot as the axis, he suddenly exerts force in the opposite direction, turns to the other side, dodges Oberto's defensive range, and then sends the ball one step to keep up with the rush with amazing speed.
Yang Di's dribbling is not fancy, in general, the most practical is a crotch, a back dribble and turn.
The three movements can be used repeatedly and connected with each other, so that the combination is very ornamental, and it cannot be compared with the dribbling master of street basketball, but it is also the height of the unity of man and ball.
He quickly dribbled across the half, and the Spurs defensively were scattered.
At that moment, Yang Di immediately made a breakthrough at a higher level of speed and went straight to the basket.
The Spurs contracted the defense, Parker and Finley came over hard, Rao is Yang Di is aggressive, burly like a mountain, but it is impossible for him to easily attack the basket, right?
Yang Di collected the ball, took a step to the left with his left foot, and then stepped out with his right foot to the right, slightly taking a European step.
At this time, the spur formation had shrunk very little, Yang Di jumped in the air, but his body quietly turned around.
"What?"
Popovich saw Finley and Parker pounce, but Young's posture didn't look like he was going to go to the basket to attack the basket.
He held the ball behind his head with both hands, threw it like a cannonball, and pointed it straight at Danny Granger, who was ambushing on the outside, and unexpectedly returned the ball.
Danny Granger was also surprised, he was ready to rush into the three-point area to grab a rebound or directly retreat quickly, but he didn't expect to receive the ball, and more importantly, there was no one to defend five meters in front of him.
He took a deep breath, caught the ball with both hands, and jumped to his knees.
After gently dialing it out, Bowen dangled in front of him, causing Danny Granger to immediately look down to see if he had been padded.
"Huh!"
The basketball hollow into the net, Yang Di was happy in his heart, and he gave special training, which was really useful.
On the sidelines, Montgomery and Ron Adams glanced at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes, "How could Yang Di pass such a ball?" It's so weird......"
Two rounds later, Yang Di received the ball in the low post and hit Duncan with his back.
Oberto came around to wrap the bag, Yang Di turned around and shook his shoulders, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration for the second time, as if dribbling the ball behind his back, and passed the ball around his back.
The blow went to Tyson Chandler who was in the open space on the other side.
Chandler was slightly stunned when he received the ball, and he didn't expect that Yang Di, who was caught in the bag, could still throw the ball over.
He immediately caught the ball and rose to the ground, "bang", his hands were violently buckled, and he hung on the basket.
Popovich suddenly stood up from the bench, and then paced to the sidelines, he looked at Yang Di on the court, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
I originally thought that without Byron Davis, the Warriors' organizational system would be broken, but I didn't expect the Warriors to find an alternative way so quickly, and it seems that the combination of Yang Di and Ray Allen is not weaker than the combination of Byron and Yang Di last year.
He thought about it, then said hello to the referee and asked for a timeout, followed by a timeout on the dead ball. 10
